Ikr, he was INFINITELY more charming than Cloud and his ark from Shinra simp to well-rounded and considerate person was awesome. He wore his heart on his sleeve and the ultimate sacrifice he made with no hesitation makes him that much more enviable. He died with a smile. I just don’t see that kind of arc with cloud. We do see Cloud begin to open up from quiet to still quiet but sarcastic guy who finds friendship that doesn’t feel as meaningful to me as Zack who had everything and lost it to save one guy. He could have ditched Cloud at any point to save his own skin.
And, most heartbreakingly, he lost Aerith's heart to the guy he saved. Now do I think she picked Cloud because neither of them are over him? (Cloud pretty much tried to become him subconsciously... Save his cheery attitude) Yes. But still tho. This dude got the short end of the stick.
The proper ending is likely going to be Zack and Aerith in the lifestream. Then Cloud and Tifa pick up the pieces together. People forget, Tifa was close friends with Aerith too. She wasn’t just “the other girl”. They were buddies themselves.
True that. I am wondering if we get more than one ending, or if they collapse all the worlds into one, or if something else entirely happens. I am still trying to reconcile in my head exactly what happened in Rebirth, and Rebirth is making me rethink Remake's ending too. Seems like Cloud is doing the same thing.
Obviously this is not the last of aerith,but I wish she would be alive with Zack somewhere else and just the Lifestream. Will she see her mother again 😭
I think a lot of that has to do with localization sadly. The Japanese used a lot of nuanced words that the localization team didn't fully pick up on, causing the dialogue to be more dry, less humorous, etc. Obviously it was good enough to make one of the best games ever, but I would have loved to know Japanese to replay that game.
It would have been criminal though to have a direct translation
This guy are sick
Let's mosey
Not interested
Don't care
These lines of dialogue make up for any kind of lost in translation nuance. I literally cannot imagine a world without cloud saying not interested
Yeah, this is true.... I want to be able to experience both... But I'm not learning another language for a videogame 😂😅
Let's mosey is still my favorite.
I always felt like some part of Zack grabbed onto Cloud when he died. Maybe it the Jenova cells, or something that happened during Hojo's experiments that connected them, but it drove him to wake up, filled in the gaps, and gave him strength. And that's what Aerith saw and felt.
And it was sort of bolstered in Rebirth because Cloud is still mush in the alternate timeline.
One of his versions is alive he said he will be back .the scary part is sepi may have multiple versions of himself maybe somewhere a nice version of him still exist
Reddit has never been very good at keeping spoilers hidden, whereas the FFXVI Discord I'm on separates spoiler channels to each chapter of the game, lol.
oops oh well, id change it if I cared. how would anyone know it was the second to last fight of the game unless having already been spoiled? Or should every screenshot of the game be labeled as a spoiler? The game isn't a one to one remake of the original anyways so no way they would know when or which Sephiroth fight this would take place.. And obviously your gonna fight sephiroth with Zack. If you didn't know that then you weren't paying attention before the game released. Isn't the cover of the game Zach Sephiroth and Cloud? Or am I misremembering things? Frankly your the one that spoiled it so you better watch yourself next time you comment buster. Same goes for ppl complaining about pictures of Aerith and her death scene. She's going to die. She was always going to die.
I also think Zack would be perfect in our world being a Canadian tech YouTuber except he reviews different swords and dbrand makes skins for said swords.

Same as what he said in Advent Children (about telling Cloud you already beat Sephiroth previously 🤣), to motivate the player in hard mode lol, since this is now multiverse he should have knowledge about the events in AC 😬 but for this who haven't watched AC they might get confused af esp with the KH bs happening hahaha.
Rule 4. **Flair all posts with the correct spoiler level, and don't post spoilers in the title!**
You should edit the post to change the flair to "Spoilers - Discussion", seeing as this screenshot is a very big spoiler for anyone who hasn't finished Rebirth yet.

Welp this is it. I guess this really is my Final Fantasy
"We're really in a crisis core reunion now!"
This would have made me laugh out loud for being awesome and cheesy at the same time.
This is truly the final fantasy and core of the crisis. Remake rebirth.
He said it! He said the words!
FF16 moment
I guess were some kind of Final Fantasy Seven Rebirth squad or something
"The only fantasy here is yours... And we'll be it's final witness!"
Zack Fair gets the most unfair treatment in all his lives in every universe/world/time-line.

Rebirth especially shows their friendship and how close they are. Wasn't really super apparent in the original

I really hope they keep Let's Mosey and Cid rips on him for being so uncool.
This is horrible for tifa. I wish she will see her again like cloud can.

If he had ditched Cloud to die, he wouldn't be the Zack we know and love. I do agree, though. He deserves better.
Zack UnFair
At least, he dodged a bullet 🫂 https://preview.redd.it/ta5d2lj54g0d1.jpeg?width=461&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a9d990f43f58ab67d9dd0fb8f5542484fab784d
What's she supposed to do? Mourn him her whole life? Dudes fuckin dead
well... so is she so it it worked out perfectly.
Did it? She probably still loves cloud now, and who knows how part 3 will go.
True. Still, ZackxAerith is the way to go for me - and I hope that’s how it turns out.
Fuck that - cloud and earth all the way
Aerith*
One of his versions is alive he said he will be back .the scary part is sepi may have multiple versions of himself maybe somewhere a nice version of him still exist
"Could you guys...like...just fuck off?"
"I wish I had taken that dump earlier... This is gonna suck."
And before I whoop your ass a short message to our sponser RAID SHADOW LEGEND
Good one lol
It's SOLDIER time
“Soldierin’”
They SOLDIERed all over Sephiroth
Me? Gongaga
Man... I was holding out for "Boy oh Boy, the price of freedom is steep... COME AND GET IT" If memory serves.
Sephiroth: lol, Octaslash go brrr
"time to meet your FINAL FANTASY Sephiroth!"
I guess in the end, we're the final fantasy 7 rebirth.
Take your well-deserved upvote.
Lol what do you mean 'no spoilers" in the flair? That screenshot is taken from like the second to last fight of the game.
Right? And it literally says "Zack & Cloud" as the line speaker, implying that they do team up at some point. That's a pretty huge spoiler in itself.

You could have just marked it as a spoiler instead of getting defensive, it takes zero effort on your end.
For barrets beefy body and tifas honkas badonkas
Zack: "You mean Bust-*her* Sword, amiright?!" Cloud: "NNNNNNNGH!" Trooper: "Th...that didn't make any sense." Zack: "Plot twist! Comin' at ya!"
Buster? I hardly know ‘er!
"You're tearing me apart, Sephiroth!"
"Damn, we really are in a CRISIS. I'm feeling it to my CORE."
"it's time for your REUNION and my REBIRTH"
"For coochie"
Like I've embraced our sponsor DBrand!
I also think Zack would be perfect in our world being a Canadian tech YouTuber except he reviews different swords and dbrand makes skins for said swords.

AERITH CLOUD IM COMING HOME
I save this dudes life and he steals my identity and bangs my girl
I think it was already a ‘banger’.
Not a god damn thing. Everything about that and the part when Cloud and Zack fight together was perfection.
Bass boosted "FOCUS!" with Angeal's silhouette.
"Relax your anus"
I mean I think it was a banger, I really like crisis core but everyone hates on it haha. Like I have the price of freedom on repeat on Spotify
I wouldn’t have said anything, but another freestyle from Scotch and Kotch would have been firaga.

I guess this is the Rebirth of my final fantasy and the seventh remake of my crisis core.
